EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee
Meeting dated 8 June 2021 regarding Application No. RAL20/0019 for a Development Permit for
Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 2 lots), situated at 23 Jirrima Crescent, Cooroibah and:
A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
     1.    The proposal is not consistent with the 8.2.2.2 (1), (2)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (i),
           Acceptable Outcomes AO6.1, AO6.2 and PO6 of the Biodiversity, Waterways and
           Wetlands Overlay as:
           a.     The proposal results in development within the Riparian Buffer Area, with the
                  proposed lot boundaries traversing the buffer area.
           b.     The proposal seeks to enhance, rehabilitate and protect only part of the identified
                  Riparian Buffer Area.
           c.     The proposed development increases the scale and intensity of development
                  within and adjacent to an ecologically important area which has the potential to
                  adversely impact on the site’s ecological values.
           d.     The proposal has the potential to result in additional clearing of vegetation in the
                  Riparian Buffer Area due to the vegetation clearing exemptions permitted by the
                  Planning Regulation 2017 and the planning scheme for lot boundaries and fencing.
     2.    The proposal is not consistent with 9.5.1.2 (1) (d) and (e) and Overall Outcomes 2(b),(c),
           Acceptable Outcome AO7.5, AO7.7 and AO7.9 and Performance Outcome PO7 of the
           Reconfiguring a Lot Code as:
           a.     The development does not provide for a lot layout that is responsive to the natural
                  environmental values present on the site.
           b.     The proposed lot boundaries traverse ecologically important areas and ecological
                  linkages.
           c.     The proposed environmental covenant area is only proposed over part of the
                  Riparian Buffer area and will not provide suitable protection to this ecologically
                  important area.
B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
